[johancruijff]

where is that fucking Intel guy?

 

[TBiddy]

The constant repeating of "exclusive" and "world premiere" at Microsofts conference. And that e-sports announcer, who tried desperately to hype a game, which I have no idea what is called. And the need to present a ridiculously expensive supercar on stage. Why?

 

[Magic Mushroom]

Lol the dunk video.

Days Gone. A Naughty Dog game.

God of War. A Naughty Dog game.

Haha. So true.

Bit tiresome really. Mechanically they're very different, but just because a game is cinematic and has some attention paid to its story, it's a Naughty Dog game.

 

[dh4niel]

Was expecting Crowbcat

Me too. I'll wait for his video, I think.

 

[EASTC0AST_GH05T]

The quietness all threw Sony's conference and the ending when they turned on the lights and people seemed confused that the conference was over and slowly started to leave.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Miyamoto and Yves was probably the best non-game related moment of E3. Maybe of any E3

 

[Swass]

Take away the PC gaming show and this video struggles to fill a minute.. guess it's a testament to how mature the show has gotten..

 

[Shai-Tan]

where is that fucking Intel guy?

still explaining intel business and developer initiatives to people who don't care at all

 

[Strings]

Reggie in the Nintendo direct. Didn't need him eating up 5 minutes reciting not-The Art of War.

 

[Larkoz]

Oh come on, Miyamoto and Guillemot having fun was truly amazing.

 

[FriskyrumX]

During some of these moments, the respective neogaf live thread would fill up a page like this:

CRINGE

CRINGE

CRINGE

oh god the cringe

etc.

It's really annoying and whatever the meaning of the word is, it's been beaten to the ground.

Pretty much this, people really need to get a grip lol

and the fact that the the whole Miyamoto and Guillemot thing is considered cringe pretty much verifies that.

 

[ShadowOwl]

Most of that video wasn't cringe at all. Like that guy in the suit, he seemed chill making fun of himself.

The one from the PC Gaming show? Yea, also liked him. Cannot wait for crowbcat's video though.

 

[samar11]

There was a clap for everything in the MS conference and plus the EXCLUSIVE! announcer lol

 

[Cave Johnson]

The dude in the crowd that was bowing during the Sony conference

Wasn't that HipHopGamer?

 

[Corpekata]

The only parts of the PC show that stood out were the Intel guy and ending the show on an AoE 1 remaster when it looked like they were about to announce a sequel.

I think overall there wasn't anything that bad this year, just like there wasn't much all that outstanding. Sort of just average in general.

 

[GamerJM]

"Cringe," is really overused.

That being said, that moment with the missed hi-five was genuinely cringe.

 

[gogogow]

Lmao.

"And in addition they'll get another one million dollars bonus for being the grandslam winner. One millio.....one.... O N E M I L L I O N D O L L A R S".

"Please clap"

 

[Shin-Ra]

Bit tiresome really. Mechanically they're very different, but just because a game is cinematic and has some attention paid to its story, it's a Naughty Dog game.

Seems like a compliment being open-world yet compared to the quality's of ND's games in a wide-linear setting.

 

[Vintage]

The random esports commentator in Xbox panel was something. Not really cringe or awkward, but something out of place. I literally can't remember anything about that game, I was only concentrating on him.

 

[xrnzaaas]

Ubisoft presenters were the worst.

 

[show me your skeleton]

chief shoutcaster and cuss monkey.

 

[Samus4145]

The quietness all threw Sony's conference and the ending when they turned on the lights and people seemed confused that the conference was over and slowly started to leave.

Did they have the crowd audio muted? Being there live, it was not quiet at all.

 

[Despera]

Just waiting for Crowbcat's video.

yep

 

[DoubleYou]

The random esports commentator in Xbox panel was something. Not really cringe or awkward, but something out of place. I literally can't remember anything about that game, I was only concentrating on him.

Haha yeah, that was so weird. He just kept shouting at us and I was like, calm down dude, what the hell is going on?

My reaction:

 

[Summer Haze]

Lol, that NFS Payback guy...

 

[truly101]

chief shoutcaster and cuss monkey.

I didn't care for either of these. I guess shoutcaster caught me off guard because I had no idea there was such a thing. Cuss monkey was just not something I would associate with anything BG&E.

 

[black070]

Lol the dunk video.

Days Gone. A Naughty Dog game.

God of War. A Naughty Dog game.

Haha. So true.

A tired and lazy joke.

 

[show me your skeleton]

yeah it was just unexpected all round.

 

[MilkyJoe]

Lol the dunk video.

Days Gone. A Naughty Dog game.

God of War. A Naughty Dog game.

Haha. So true.

Ha, reminds me of

 

[hotcyder]

That guy is my spirit animal.

 

[Polioliolio]

This e3 has nothing on the e3s of past.

Pretty disappointed in this department.

Nintendo 2007, I believe.. Or was it 2010? Just Terrible...

 

[Renekton]

You guys have really low cringe threshold

 

[OmnipotentO]

The "YouTube Creator" presenting at EA's conference who completely flubbed his lines, so awkward.

YouTube creator is a contender for most cringe ever.

 

[DISSESHOWEDO]

"Exvlusive" followed by "console launch exclusive" title.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

There are usually a lot of Microsoft employees at their press conference to cheer for everything, as far as I know.

Wouldn't surprise me. Ubisoft do the same as well.

 

[Icyflamez96]

People getting upset over the word "cringe" is getting pretty cringeworthy.

Is it lingo? Yeah. Is it overused? Yeah. But it's a part of the internet lexicon and cringe videos get millions of views. It's a thing.

I don't even know why people say it's "overused". Cringe is a subjective experience, not objective. Often when someone makes a thread or posts about something they find cringy, some people reply like "cringe is so overused", that not what cringe is, etc. You can't tell someone else that they didn't actually have a cringe response to something. Just because one finds something cringy doesn't mean you have to. It doesn't make the usage wrong.

 

[Jumeira]

Man the crowd at Sony's conf were amazing, thier expressions made the show for me lol.

Some great games on display, yet they were all like :|

 

[Rurunaki]

The EA "high five" fail was the lowest point for me.

 

[Triggerhappytel]

Haha yeah, that was so weird. He just kept shouting at us and I was like, calm down dude, what the hell is going on?

My reaction:

It didn't help that it was a game that no-one cares about. Didn't even get its own topic here; I think people are generally pretty disinterested in competitive shooters unless they offer something particularly special or unique.

 

[Steve.1981]

Everything is cringe now? People are that insecure?

This is what I always wonder. I see the word used on here a whole hell of a lot.

 

[Markitron]

Wasn't that HipHopGamer?

IIRC it cut to HHG right afterwards, but it wasn't him doing the bowing.

 

[Icyflamez96]

yep

Oh wow I just realized it wasn't crowbcat. I only watched a minute but that was lacking in what I'd expect from him. Now I know why.

Also there's plenty of moments he can still get from the streams and stuff after the conference days so I'd hope he wouldn't be posting it yet.

 

[LiquidSolid]

The "I witnessed the most powerful console ever" shirts.

 

[Jhn]

Day9 should not be in here. His self-awareness cancels out the cringe.

 

[faint.]

Miyamoto should be banned from cringe threads unless we're talking about Wii Music. But even then we should pardon him.

 

[Ros8105]

The "YouTube Creator" presenting at EA's conference who completely flubbed his lines, so awkward.

He's my favorite.

"Thank you ni-
for having me"

 

[ogbg]

That high five gets me every time.

Cringiest moment of E3.

Pretty sure that was a joke

 

[Ryuuga]

eh, lot of these weren't cringy!

just watch the dunkey video and wait for crowbcat

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7o8IcA66K9A

Haha nice he seems sold on MHWorld.

 

[Wolfgunblood Garopa]

There was nothing cringey at all this E3. We're in a post Konami 2010 and Kinect world, the ship has sailed. When you're suggesting things like the esports announcer at MS or lame tshirts, you know it's over.

 

[Kolibri]

The guys bowing to Sony was the worst. Holy shit.
